Opodiphthera helena - Helena Gum Moth

This has to be one of the most amazing moths to visit our moth light!

The Helena Gum moth is one of the largest moths in southwest Western Australia. This one had a wingspan of around 13cm. Stunning! 😍

Another Ephestia elutella (Cacao Moth) candidate potted up from inside the garage a few nights ago!
No idea why my garden seems to produce so many weird & wacky micros.
I think there must actually be a micro moth factory somewhere in the garage….
